Today I want to tell you about a baby girl who needs our help. When I read about her need HERE I knew right away I wanted to help! I hope you will help too!!!

This is Lily. On March 22nd this sweet baby girl will undergo open heart surgery.
How can you help?
I'm glad you asked!!! For 7 weeks she will not be able to lift her arms. She will only be able to wear kimono style tops which can be easily removed. Lily's Mom is unable to find them in stores.

Will you join me and make a kimono top for sweet lily? Tutorial ******
They are hoping to get 14 made for her so her Mom doesn't have to worry about doing laundry during the stay in the hospital.

Although she is almost 10 months old, she only wears size 3 to 6 months in clothes

Her measurements are:
Chest: 17 in
Waist: 16 1/4 in
Hip to feet: 12 1/4 in

If you are able to help, please mail your kimono(s) here as soon as possible.

For Lily
417 Brazil Drive
Hurst, TX. 76054

What makes this even more special is that once Lily is done wearing these after her heart surgery, her Momma will be paying them forward to another family facing the same procedure. Not only will you be helping Lily, but other babies as well!

There is also a Flicker pool set up to share photos of the kimonos made for Lily.http://www.flickr.com/groups/1638241@N21/
Be sure to add the ones you make to it!
I can't wait to see the kimono's that Lily recieves!!!!

Thanks so much for continuing the Sewing for Lilly project Nancy! Her mom Britni was so excited when she read about your nightgowns for Lilly! Everyone be aware..she is really tiny! So if you can try and go off the measurements that will be a lot closer than some of the pattern sizing. There is one really cute pattern on the web called Betty Kingston wrap, that runs REALLY big. Thanks for your help Nancy and everyone else willing to help this sweet family!

I'd love to help--I will probably be late (always!) because I need a new serger and am purchasing it in the next few days. I will blog about this, too, as soon as I get one made. I'll be linking back to you. Thanks!
